most of it is due to the video memory on your card, X includes that in
the "memory usage". Another is memory leaks depending on what you
run. Much of the leaks I don't think are purely the X server's fault
but the apps themselves, especially if you do a lot of graphics work.
check this out ..I think this is among the highest memory usage I have
seen for X..

128MB video card. My old P3-733 I used at work(16MB) used to get bigger
(420MB), but that was with 30 virtual desktops and more then a month
of running w/o restarting X. As a result I'd have to restart X at about
that point as it would get more and more sluggish. The above machine
has only about 10 virtual desktops and a fraction of the uptime.
